'97 Passat TDI



165000 miles
40+ MPG diesel
40 miles per quart of oil, burning not leaking body damage: front bumper cover & left rear door skin + trim #2 injector not effect idel when line is loosened/disconnected. Thats messy. headliner down. VAG-COM/Bently manual testing has given codes that point to bad injector pump, but I think it may have been the #2 injector. MAS may be bad.

-------- Choises



1) Drive it till it dies.
2) Rebuild motor now.
3) Buy a used motor.
4) Use it for target practice.
5) Sell it. May be able to get more in scrap metel than for trade-in.

Just find on of them American dealers who offer min of $4K trade in.

40 miles per quart of oil!!! I'd reinforce the roof, strap a 55 gallon barrel of oil to it, and scrape off your greenpeace bumper sticker for starters.....
